L5 pinched nerve
#6
Thanks for the interesting notes. I picked up jogging again after this started happening, thinking it owuld help. I've gotten addicted to it and probably do 3 miles every couple days.

I also have flat feet though, and perhaps my shoes are not meant for me and aren't helping.

I also sleep on a full sized yogibo beanbag chair the last couple years (don't ask!) I guess it's the habit of watching netflix before going to bed. I wonder if that's done nothing good for my back.

I could still go do walks, but I feel young enough to want to move faster (lol). I read biking and swimming can really help in these types of things, but I can't swim, so that's gone lol.

I lifted once or twice when this first started and thought maybe it was related, so I completely stopped any lifting activities.

I would make the regiment or lifestyle change necessary if they tell me what to do. I started doing spinach smoothies every day and changed my diet completely to almost vegan + protein and I've lost a lot of weight and in general feel better, other than this.

The diet change/weight loss/exercise doesn't seem to have made my problems any worse, or better though. For my overall health I think I will continue the spinach and healthy eating as I doubt that is affecting it (although I've got the outstanding lab work for the vitamin deficiencies and protein buildup/etc) - although neuro says it's the old pinched nerve.

I yelled for an MRI 7 years ago and the doctor ordered it, in this case I wonder if I can just say "please prove it" and use my anxiety against them, lol. It can only help me/them know for sure what a best course of action is. I would not pay for the MRI, though, lol...

I love shooting hoops, but I'd have to change it to a flat shot with no jump. I don't play bball anymore but I still love to shoot, I usually take a 15 minute break during the work day to shoot - to help me solve problems lol.

I was diagnosed with Levioscoliosis a long time ago, so that probably isn't helping. Since this has began, I've switched to using standing desks (autonomous AI desk) and I feel like my back/core has strengthened from standing more often than sitting, but still no real healing for the feet.
